JESUS TAUGHT US: SPIRIT IS EVERYTHING

PLEASE DON'T BLOW THE FOLLOWING OFF. IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE. IT MAY BE MY SINGLE GREATEST CONTRIBUTION.

Dr. King thought that clearly Jesus taught us that Spirit is everthing, so he wanted to understand conceptually what constituted the dimensions of Spirit. He figured that such a clear conception would enable him and others to develop that Spirit to its maximum strength / capacity, and to enable a much clearer warning indicator of when the Spirit was nonexistant or critically ill. The following depicts Dr. King's conception. Each dimension can expand or contract independant of the others. The larger the area of the rectangle, the more complete and healthy the Spirit. Jesus tried, and so far failed at making this our Religion:

The dimensions of Spirit / UNIVERSAL LOVE / Otherishess / Brotherhood / LIFE:





















I've found Dr. Kings conception enormously helpful, but I began to wonder - is Adolf Hitler explained simply by being a small version of this cube - weak in every dimension. It became clear to me that no, this does not explain a Hitler. There are opposites for each of these dimensions. I believe that what follows is a reasonable and profoundly enlighening attempt at what this opposite, Flesh is. The U.S. and U.K. have succeeded beyond the dreams of avarice so far at making what follows the World Religion to which we enslave ourselves and eagerly sacrifice our children:

The dimensions of Flesh / Selfishness / Lust / Capitalism / DEATH
/ EMPIRE:






















Dr. King: "Life's most persistant and urgent question is, what are you doing for others."

Jesus: "What good is it if you have all of the world, but lose your Life?"
Life's central choice: Stand on the spirit of
A. UNIVERSAL LOVE, or
B. EMPIRE

THE CENTRAL TEACHINGS OF JESUS

Tolstoy's translation of Jesus Gospel as found in the original Greek Texts is that which seems the most clear and Truthful by far: "The Gospel in Brief." Two books that grew out of "The Gospel in Brief" proved monumentally important: "The Kingdom of God is Within You" created Gandhi / became his bible; "The Law of Love and the Law of Violence" deeply influenced Dr. Martin Luther King at Crozier Seminary when he was young. From "The Gospel in Brief," I find these to be the essential teachings of Jesus:


p58 "...my teaching ... works of love to one's neighbor."

p58 "The external worship of God cannot be combined with works of love. The old teaching of the external worship of God cannot be combined with my teaching of works of love to one's neighbor."

p67 "He gave the spirit to the world, and the spirit itself lives in men, and men who liveby the spirit make up the kingdom of God."

p67 "A woman puts yeast in the kneading trough and mixes it with the flour; she then stirs it no more, but lets it ferment and rise. As long as men live, God does not interpose in their life."

p67 "For the spirit there is neither death nor evil. Death and evil are for the flesh, but not for the spirit."

p72 "If all praise them [the rich], woe to them, because only deceivers get everybody's praise."

p73 "...he who shall fulfill [the commandments I give], and shall thereby teach others, shall be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

p75 "All sensuality destroys the soul, and therefore it is better for you to renounce the pleasure of the flesh than to destroy your life."

p75 "... the soul ... your life."

p79 "All men are His children, and therefore all are brothers to you."

p80 "All these commandments are contained in this one: All that you wish people should do for you, do even so to them."

p80 "I. Do not be angry, but be at peace with all men. II. Do not seek delight in sensual gratification. III Do not swear anything to anyone. IV. Do not oppose evil, do not judge, and do not go to law. V. Do not make any distinction among men as to nationality, and love strangers like your own people."

p80 "... love strangers like your own people ... "

p82 "The light of the body is the eye, and the light of the soul is the heart. If your eye is dim, then all of your body will be in darkness. And if the light of your heart is dim, then all your soul will be in darkness."

p89 "My food is to do the will of Him who gave me life, and to fulfill that which He intrusted to me."

p94 "... the fulfillment of the Father's will depends on each man's effort and striving to make people see that life is given, not for oneself personally, but for the fulfillment of the Father's will, which alone saves from death and gives life."

p99 "... the nourishment of man is the spirit descended from heaven. This it is which gives life to the world."

p102 "... Our flesh is the true food for the real life."

p106 "I drive out evil by summoning people to fulfill the will of the Spirit, the Father, who gives life to all."

p118 "That which stands high in the eyes of men, is abomination in the eyes of God."

p118 "Now the kingdom of heaven is attainable on earth, and great are they who enter it. But they enter it, not the rich, but those who have nothing."

p121 "Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not lie. Do not steal. Further, honor your Father, and fulfill His will; and love your neighbor as yourself ... One small thing you have left undone. You have not fulfilled that which you say. If you wish to fulfill these commandments ... above all, the comandment: Love your neighbor as yourself - then, at once sell all your goods, and give them to the poor. Then you will have fulfilled the father's will."

p121 "... sell all your goods, and give them to the poor ..."

p121 "... above all ... love your neighbor as yourself ..."

p124 "See now, this poor widow has put in two forthings in the boc. She has put in more than all. Because they put in that which the did not need for their own livelihood; while this woman has put in all that she had; has put in her whole life."

p124 "... put in [all that you have] ... put in [your] whole life ..."

p128 "... God should be served not in the temple and by sacrifices, but in the spirit, and by deeds."

p128 "...God should be served ... in the spirit, and by deeds."

p129 "Your law of Moses is not the Father's law ...."

p135 "If your father were one with me, you would love me, because I came forth from that Father."

p136 "I am from the Father of good, from God; but you [Orthodox] are from the devil, from the father of evil."

p136 "... the Father of good ... God ..."

p139 "There are shepherds to whom the sheep are the chief interest in life, and who give up their lives for the sheep. These are true shepherds. And their are hirelings who do not care about the sheep, because they are hirelings, and the sheep are not theirs; so that if a wolf comes they abandon their charge and flee from them, and the wolf devours the sheep."

p140 "My teaching is this - to give up one's life for the life of men."

p142 "Every man in the spirit is the son of God."

p151"... Men do not love even a reminder of the spirit which lives in them, and declares to them that it is eternal and they are not eternal; and they have killed, as far as they could, the consciousness of the spirit; they have wrapped in a cloth and burried in the ground the talent that was given them."

p166 "I am teaching ... how to save people."

p172 "... Christ is that same Lord, our Ruler, whom we know in ourselves as our life. Christ is that understanding which is in us."

p172 "... Christ... in ourselves as our life."

p172 "... Christ ... that understanding which is in us."

p173 "From [the orthodox] comes all the evil in the world; because they hide the good, and instead of it uphold evil."

p173 "[The orthodox] do the easiest thing, the external thing; that which is needful and difficult - love, compassion, truth - they leave undone."

p173 "... that which is needful and difficult - love, compassion, truth ..."

p174 "There is one temple of God, that is, the hearts of men when they love each other."

p181 "... the present society of men is condemned to destruction. From now that which rules this world shall be destroyed."

p182 "... my Father, the living spirit in me ...."

p182 "... my Father ... the spirit of understanding ..."

p182 "He who believes in my teaching believes not in me, but in that spirit which gave life to the world."

p187 "Seek to be only thus distinguished from other people - Love one another."

p194 "My commandment is, that you love one another as I have loved you."

WE ARE IMORTAL. THE ONLY DEATH IS SELFISHNESS

Have no belief in a God being that can hear us. It is madness to live is though there is not a Father of us all.

I have no belief in any type of life after my body is gone in the sense that no part of me will experience anything.

It is profoundly real to me, as real as the keyboard I am typing on, that we are Imortal beings. Gandhi will live on as long as does the universe. My father, Edward John McGinley will live on as long as there are people that knew him, or were helped by those that did.

We are Spirit / Psychological beings. You and I will never know anything outside the immaginings of our mind. Everything else is virtual illusion.

Life is Unconditional Love / Brotherhood / Family of Man / Otherishness. The only possible death can come from my own "hand" when I choose Selfishness over Otherishness. This is true for you too.

Darfur Hunger Striker's Letter to President el-Bashir

March 13, 2007

President el-Bashier
Country of Sudan, Africa, Human Family

Dear brother,

I mourn to the point of death for your mutilated humanity / the “death” of your Soul, of your heart. I mourn for the torment, atrocity the Hell on Earth you have created as the result for my brothers and sisters in Darfur.

I love you my brother. You are no better or worse than I. You are no more to blame for who you are than I am for who I am.

But I am to blame if I do not do whatever I am able with my life to bring you back to your humanity, your sanity, your Divine Self.

I'm a poor student of life but everything I have learned in life* launches me on a course. This is my 13th day of Hunger Strike (60 in the last 9 months; 134 days of Vigil at the White House), intended to be Ransom for the restoration of your Humanity, for your Soul and for the salvation of my dear brothers and sisters in Darfur.

Today by noon I hope to be in front of your Embassy in Washington delivering this letter. I intend to continue my water only hunger strike until it is clear to me that your Heart has thawed toward your family of Darfur. I believe I am prepared to let the hardheartedness that is exterminating Darfuries exterminate myself as well in the hopes that one more body might help you see.

My brother, you are going down in history and in our Father's eyes as a butcher of humanity along side of Hitler, Bush, Cheney, the Zionists and Pol Pot. My brother, it is not too late. You need only turn from your head, from endless dialog, you need only turn to your Heart, the domain of our Father. Your heart, our Father will tell you what to do.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Your loving brother forever,

Start Loving

Press release attached: http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2007/03/press-release-darfur-hunger-strike.html

My Religion is Loving. My Church - folks known for Loving all of All. My Master is Jesus.

CANCER IS ONE OF THE TWO POSSIBLE STATES OF ORGANIC STUFF

Life is a process whether we are speaking organically or psychologically.

The Life process of the "cell" is either working for the wellbeing and regeneration of the entire "body" or it is "cancer." Cancer is simply organic stuff that loses health in such a way that it neglects its duty, role, God given, evolution given function - neglect of the other.

The "mind" is either dedicated to the wellbeing of the "body" or it literally is "cancer" - killing the body of mankind, and dying itself.

"The Kingdom of our Father is within you. Be like a child and find it," Jesus.

The essence of a child is to Love. Yes it gets pissed when it has a poop in its pants, but its essence is to Love, be connected, fascinated, enthralled, empathetic, compassionate, caring, helpful (yes). These are our neotenous (Montegue) species traits of Health. Losing this essence of Loving is the psychological equivalent to losing and arm, or being riddled with cancer; and it is the equivalent of becomming a killer virus to the body of humankind.

Cure and health of the psyche is the moral and species survival imperrative of all humans - cure thy self, cure thy brother, or perrish.

Whereas I think Jesus is "the great," pro golfers beside Tiger Woods...

... could also make me great if I followed them.

I absolutely think Jesus was the greatest psychologist / spiritual leader of all time.

However, so what? At the Heart of all the great religious are great psychologists / spiritual leaders.

Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Atheism, Humanism... pick one and become great at it. This is the material and spiritual salvation of planet earth. Our lives are at stake.

NOT SO WITH PSYCHOLOGISTS - Alder [see posts this site] and secondarily Abraham Maslow, M. Csikszentmihaly, Rogers, Victor Frankl are our only choices, for Life's sake. The others fall between trivial and pathological - especially Freud.

NOT SO WITH THE PHARISEES, AND HYPOCRITES. THE ORIGINAL TEACHINGS FROM THE SOURCE, AND THE FEW SAINTS ARE THE ONLY SOURCE OF LIFE.

CLINICALLY: OUR "HUMANITY" IS OUR LIFE

Our humanity - Love, Conscience, Courage, Otherishness, Wisdom, Truth - our Heart / Soul IS our Life.

"What profiteth a man if he wins the world but loseth his life," Jesus.

'Social interst pursued with great courage IS the measure of the health [life] if the psyche,' Alfred Adler, psychologist [synthesis].

To fight to awaken the Humanity / Soul / Otherishness / Love / Brotherly Love of another is literally to fight for his / her life.

Activists / Christians, the stakes are much higher than you / we / I thought.

Activists / Christians, the moral imperitive / mandate / justification / reason is much clearer than we thought.

JESUS SHOWED US HOW TO WIN THE GAME - END WAR, STAVE OFF ARMAGEDDON

We haven't seen it.

Jesus was a psychologist. Get this, get over it, get on with it, or the game is over... Get this, get on with it, and the world may yet be Saved.

Football players know how to "see" what is happening, and what "will happen" on the football field. They truly and deeply "know" what is going on.

There is no evidence of this in any group that calls itself "Christian," "Activist," or "Nonviolent Revolutionary."

We are like this: Imagine that a Nuclear Powered, Indestructable Lap Top was transported back 2000 or 4000. Years. Imagine the "mysticism," the "Ritual," the "Religion" it would inspire. It could be hundreds or thousands of years until its real value was undersoood.

Instead of growth charts, detailed strategies, objective goals, quantification of results... all the tools that enable the Pentagon, and Military / Industrial complex to be the Church, to rule the world, are unavalable to us because Christianity is all about some future life, and Saving ourselves or that Life.

No. In the name of God see this. Jesus absolutely, concretely showed us the strategy for shocking, clinically shocking humanity into its Right Mind.

Gandhi's Bible, Tolstoy's "The Kingdom of God is Within You," the entire reason it was written was so Tolstoy could make this point as best he could: 'The entire world has been exposed to Jesus teachings. It is leading to only horror so far. But I think, like a supersaturated chemical solution in a glass, with just the right impact it can instantly crystalize and transform entirely - in a flash.' [paraphrase]

Tolstoy, Gandhi, King... were all "mad" with similar inklings.

BUT WE LACKED ADLER'S MODEL OF MENTAL HEALTH! PHYSICISTS LACKED EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF RELATIVITY! LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN THE DECADES SINCE! LOOK WHAT ALL THE PHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS THAT EINSTEINS THEORY UNLEASHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JESUS AND ADLER. PLEASE HAVE FAITH. EVERTHING IS AT STAKE, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND WE HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN.

JESUS/ADLER ARE TO MENTAL/SPIRITUAL HEALTH WHAT EINSTEIN WAS TO PHYSICS

Get this, or the game is over.

See any and all notes on this and wherever you can on Alfred Adler.

This is what "Christianity" has been missing.

Whatever "mystical," "Divine being" aspects there are associate with Jesus; Jesus died to teach us about our mental lives, how to bring ourselves to clinical health, and that...

Right Understanding is the keys to Heaven on Earth.

MILITANT, "MILITARY" NONVILENT ACTION IS A MORAL & SPIRITUAL IMPERITIVE.

We cannot be Christian if we are anything less.

SPIRITUAL: "Saving" the Soul is to be a brother to a stranger that will gladly sacrifice themselves to help. This and only this can activate, "Save" the Immortal Soul.

MENTAL: IF OUR MIND IS DEAD, WE ARE DEAD. WILL GOD / CONSCIENCE / MORALITY / HUMANITY FORGIVE US IF WE LEAVE A DYING MAN UNATTENDED?

IF WE NEGLECT MILITANT NONVIOLENCE RISKING ENTIRELY OUR LIVES, WE ARE MORALLY AND SPIRITUALY LOST, FOREVER.

!!!!!!!! ALFRED ADLER !!!!!!!!!!!!

Adler was a contemporary of Freud. [Be careful! Just as is the case today with our understanding of Jesus teachings, for the same reason, do not, repeat, do not look to any of the "followers" of Adler to understand his work. NEVER. Go to his original writings (link above.) Having said that, to help you guage the credibility of what follows, and the cursory evidence as to where Adler falls in today's field of psychology I point you to a 6o second scan (no longer than that!) of International Association of Individual Psychology, Alfred Adler Graduate School, and dozens of other organizations world-wide.

Adler was as Healthy as Freud was Mentally Sick. Freud is to be forgiven. In essence it is as though was born into and lived his entire life in a mental ward for the seriously insane. Freud had absolutely no concept of "Health." You cannot have a valid psychology without experience and grasp of Health. How can you know what direction to move your clients?

Freud and Adler worked together. Adler broke off in his own direction.

Freud, in a society in Lust with burgeoning Capitalism (mandate to abandon brotherly responsibility; just invented in Freud's time) became its Darling. Freud validated that the toxic effect of inhumane competition was "normal" and therefore something to be accepted; something to be resigned to. It was a perfect marriage!

The parallel between the first 80 years of Jesus' life and that of Adler is enormous in that they both developed an tremendously loyal, potent, committed following that was in the vast minority and either ridiculed or ignored by the "main stream." Adler considered his psychology a "scientific" rendering of Jesus teachings. He was correct. God forgive me for not seeing the global implications until this week.

ESSENCE OF ADLER'S THEORY:
* We are born with an inbuilt paradigm. We WILL see humanity / others as family to be servant to; or enemy to be feared and exploited.
* We are far worse than terrible at managing this paradigm.
* Environment is the key determinant of selecting the paradigm. The environment if courageously "friendly" is likely to cause shift to the "friendly" paradigm in the other - OTHERISHNESS. The environment if at all "hostile" is likely to evoke the paradigm "enemy," "other" to be exploited - SELFISHNESS.

One of the five most difficult, MOST IMPORTANT books I have ever read is Adler's, "The Individual Psychology of Alfred Adler." Please get it, read it and understand it. Now. Before it is too late.

PRESS RELEASE: Darfur Hunger Strike Moves to Sudan Embassy 24 Hours Per Day

Darfur Hunger Strike Moves to Sudan Embassy 24 Hours Per Day Until el-Bashir Regains His Humanity

Washington, DC March 12, 2007 Darfur Hunger Strike day thirteen moves to the Sudan Embassy tomorrow at about noon where the striker intends to remain until Sudan President el-Bashir regains his humanity and brings full and generous protection, relief and restoration to his tortured Darfur family. Start Loving, previously known as Jay McGinley, has attempted to end the Darfur Genocide since May 14, 2006 by vigiling 134 days at and around the White House, accompanying this with 60 days of water-only hunger strike.

Loving, an executive in the computer industry turning around failing organizations most of his adult life, is also a trained psychological counselor and was on the management team of a small retail chain in Philadelphia until May 13, 2006 when he gave up everything to fight nonviolently in DC for his Darfur family.

“I appeal to the heart, to the humanity, to the Immortal Soul of my brother el-Bashir,” said Loving. “Al-Bashir is headed toward a place in history alongside Adolph Hitler, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Zionists and Pol Pot. He has the blood of millions on his hands. I hope to give my life, if that is required, in an attempt to awaken his heart in time to save my brother and some of our Darfur brothers and sisters. I hope to find the heroism and courage of my blessed brother and sister U.S. Soldiers who willingly give their Lives in Iraq for others, as mistaken as their beliefs may be.”

According to the faith based SaveDarfur.org coalition, “not since the Rwandan genocide of 1994 has the world seen such a calculated campaign of displacement, starvation, rape, and mass slaughter... Darfur has been embroiled in a deadly conflict for over three years. At least 400,000 people have been killed; more than 2 million innocent civilians have been forced to flee their homes and now live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan or in refugee camps in neighboring Chad; and more than 3.5 million men, women, and children are completely reliant on international aid for survival.”

Loving faces added difficulties in his Sudan Embassy Hunger Strike campaign including a record of arrests for peacefully demonstrating at the Pentagon, Federal Court House and the White House. Despite more than 60 nonviolent, all night vigils in front of the White House acknowledged by the police to be lawful and admirable, in late January of 2007 a rogue police officer, under the cloak of darkness, harassed and then arrested Loving for sitting up under a tree holding Darfur posters; just as Loving had done on the previous nights. Loving's court date for this arrest is March 21st and the Sudan Embassy Hunger Strike will preclude attendance at this hearing.

Additionally, Loving is completely without support or backing for his campaign which will make his campaign more difficult to survive for any significant length of time. On previous strikes Loving has had access to water , bathroom facilities and the protection of Lafayette Park Officers. Additionally, without support Loving has no knowledge or experience to guide him regarding the potential behavior of police. Despite the fact that he will be entirely nonviolent it is unknown what police action may be mounted by the various law enforcement agencies.

“Time is long past “up” for our Darfur family, and for the Soul of my brother el-Bashir” said Loving. “I have no illusion that my efforts will make any difference, but that is not my responsibility. Our Father calls us to be faithful, not successful. As best I can tell Our Father, Humanity, Conscience, Love, whatever you call it demands that we risk everything we have to awaken a Saving Love, Brotherhood, Humanity in a brother, el-Bahsir, in the face of such suffering and atrocity. This is my best attempt.”

Attachment: Letter to el-Bashir

Dear Inner Family, Hunger Strike moves to Sudan Embassy

Know that I have never been more filled with Joy, Peace, Love, Life and Agony.

Saint Thomas is getting back on his feet and this morning returned to his Sacred 25 year Vigil in the park. I received the sacred blessing of being commissioned by Thomas to cover his activity there for several days while he recovered from his illnesses. Thomas and Ellen have opened a portal there in front of the White House that enables writing on people's Hearts as few places on earth can match. No I am not talking about the location. I'm talking about the 25 years of Faithfulness, vision, courage, perseverance, Heroism, Love, Long Suffering, Wisdom, Truth that Our Father has built using them. They have opened a window to write on peoples hearts. May our Father bless their Hearts for creating this and may Thomas and Ellen finally learn to accept His Blessing of their Hearts with His/Her Infinite Love, Peace, Joy, and Life as they have not fully learned to accept up until this point in time. May She give them the Wisdom, Truth, support and Courage to continue their work with all of their Hearts, Wisdom and Truth.

With Thomas getting back on his feet to cover the 25 year vigil, and with others available to share coverage with him until he is 100%, my work here is at an end, for now.

I have longed to participate in the voluntary arrests Friday Night, March 16th with as many as 400 others at the White House after walking from the National Cathedral - Christian Peace Witness for Iraq. I have longed to participate in the Jonah House / Dorothy Day Catholic Worker April 4-6 Retreat (Holy Week Faith and Resistance Retreat) and to risk arrest with them each of the three days. All this if I did not land in jail March 21st for my wrongful arrest in late January at the White House.

But our Father seems strongly, urgently and Lovingly calling me back to Darfur, and I am overwhelmed with Joy and gratitude. I expect She will have me in front of the Sudan Embassy Tomorrow by noon. Seems She wants me there for as long as my flesh lasts, and the police permit. At the end of this post is the Press Release that some of today will be devoted to distributing. Please fell free to distribute further if you are so moved [or to blow this entire matter off!] as my time, and resources (no on-line press list for example) are profoundly limited at this point.

I would Lie if I said other than that after a lifetime of Living a Prayer for Wisdom and insight, this week our Father finally gave up hope of me figuring out the till-now hidden secrets of Making Global Peace and Brotherhood. My sense of that beginning late last week She finally threw up Her hands with something like, "Ok Start, you imbecile, I'll show you! Now listen carefully and write what I tell you!!! Now stand on the shoulders of Jesus, Dellinger, Gandhi, King, the Berrigan Brothers, Adler, Maslow, Hugo, Dickens, Dorothy Day, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, OPEN YOUR EYES, AND SEE!"

Between now and noon tomorrow I will devote most of my time to this task, writing all that She has shown me to the best of my pitiful abilities. I feel certain that She has given me Divine Inspiration and that it will be a grave Sin against Humanity if I do not share, and you do not carefully ponder what She has shown me. Pretty Absurd huh? This writing will go primarily on the blog: Jesus, Good, G d-Father, Alfred Adler, n Start Loving. I will not finish in time - tomorrow; and as of this moment it is little more than an outline!!!! But by tomorrow the more fleshed out outline will be enough if you work at it, PRAY AND USE YOUR IMAGINATIONS... AND YOUR HEARTS / CONSCIENCE / WISDOM / SOUL. In the name of G d I pray you do so.

With Love for you forever and missing you painfully already, your brother, Start
[Following is the Press Release and Letter to my brother el-Bashir.............. ]

[see post above]

Not yet ready to die for your brothers and sisters? Not yet Christian.

Not yet giving your life for "the least of these [your] family?" Not yet Christian.

"A man who does not know what he is willing to die for, is not [yet] fit to live," Dr. ML King.

"If you would have your life, you will lose it," Jesus.

"The good shepherd lays down his life for his flock," Jesus.

"Love as I have loved," Jesus.

"Death is nothing to be sad about. The only thing to be sad about is knowing that you are not a saint," Teresa of Calcutta.

"To be Christian I think your life should resemble Christ's," Teresa of Calcutta.

The lives of our heroes, both nonviolent (brotherly) attest to this truth: Gandhi, Jesus, Dr. King, Mandella, All the Saints, Beko, Bonhoeffer, Corrie, Romero, Jan Juste.................................................................

Is Start Loving ready? Who the Hell knows! I think he is, eager even if it will help.

3.11.2007

HEALTH, SANITY, JESUS DEMAND THAT RAISING AN ARMY OF HEROES IS PRIMARY

Activist community, my beloved Catholic Workers take heed.

You are mortally neglect in this regard, and deeply blind it appears to me. And no wonder. You have deprived of access to Adler's Theory!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ADLER: There are two, and only two basic ways to be human, to approch and live the problems of life. We all select and live out our lives using one or the other:
A. Mankind is basiclly hostile - live accordingly. As subily or overtly as you need to do - "do unto others before they do unto you."
B. Mankind is basically Friendly / "Family"- live out your lives accordingly - "do unto others ALL that you would have them do unto you.
Adler goes on to demonstrate that "A" is an ERROR (sin) which can be corrected by powerful exposure to evidence that man is in fact friendly / "Family."

See that you are indeed called, morally mandated to raise all human kind as a permanent army of brothers. In this single act alone you will end war; you will cause mass, entire desertion from the forces of Selfishness - warmaking, capitalism, fascism, the state.

This is the work Jesus began. This is the work that Nicea put a final end to. This is the work you are called to. Know that you are called to give your lives entirely in whatever way our Father calls you to do.

We are out of time. You see this and proceed, or it is the end of humankind.

I pray you, I pray we are not too late.

Selfishness, Lustfulness is clinically Insane / Pathological / Pathenogenic

Insane, clinically, because it displaces Brotherliness / "Social Interest," Alfred Adler's measure of human health.

Pathogenic because is induces selfishness in others. Selfishness, private logic, treating the other as not-brother is insane, a diminishment of human health.

Who the hell is Alfred Adler? Oh God, it is time for your faith. See a post above on the subject. Is it mere coincidence that Dr. King quoted Adler in one of his last and most important sermons, "The Drum Major Instinct?"

Who the hell was John the Baptist!??!!? "Did you expect to see someone in fine clothes?"

Imagine the implications for the Peace Movement if you conclude that violence and war are Truly mental health issues. Imagine the implications.

Trust me at least enough to look into this further, in the name of God! See posts on Adler elsewere on this site.

We are "ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY."

Genocide in Darfur?
We Americans are "ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY."

Apartheid/Genocide in Israel/Palestine?
We Americans are "ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY."

Three million slaughtered in Congo to steal raw materials for western "stuff?"
We Americans are "ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY."

etc...

etc...

etc....

Why the hell have I spent four of the last eight months in front of the White House regarding Darfur Genocide? Because I can't continue to be "all evidence to the contrary."

I've just watched "Rachel Corrie: An American Consicience." At youtube you can find snippets on Rachel (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, more Rachel). But this movie is devistatingly effective at showing the Genocide of the Palastinian people.

We Americans, the normal day-to-day lives (deaths) we live are "ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY."

WE ARE GUILTY OF VIOLENCE IF WE DO NOT CONFRONT VIOLENCE

Sanity, Health, Salvation is being Loving, Brotherly.
Insanity, pathology, illness is EVERYTHING else.

We are guilty of violence if we abandon our brother to , insanity, disease, illness, pathology.

See Jesus and Alfred Adler.

I LOVE JESUS AND I THINK THIS IS 99% OF WHAT HE DIED TO TELL US. HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO SHOW US HOW TO BECOME BIOLOGICALLY, NEUROLOGICALLY HEALTHY HUMANS. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL HIS DEATH BE IN VANE?

OUR FATHER'S KINGDOM IS THE HEART & SOUL. ONLY IN THE HEART ARE WE TO DWELL.

Our only hope of you seeing this is to use your Heart or s (as distinct from what seems to you to be your "mind," "logic," "reason...") to examine this.

What we in our more lucid, wise moments refer to as our "Heart" AND "Soul" is the part of our nervous system that is the seat, yes?, of:

* Conscience
* Wisdom
* Compassion
* Insight
* Revelation
* Soul
* Spirit....

Well, obviously this is The Kingdom of God is the Heart & Soul!!! [Did you know that? I didn't!]:
A. Within ourselves
B. In the world!!!!!!!!! The kingdom is the Heart and Soul of all human kind [whatever else it may be in addition.]

The turf, the battle field for "humanists," "Budists," "Christians," "Hindu's," "Muslims..." is the Human Heart & Soul - Clinically! If we fight and win there, the body must and will follow. We haven't even played there seriously. We mistakenly thought that all the teachings had more to do with some after life than life on the planet today. Yes we had some vague idea, but with Adler we can go from weak vision and theory to hard hitting, confident, courageous self-sacrificial, totally nonviolent battle for humanity!

THE OPPOSITE OF LOVING IS VIOLENCE. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE.

The opposite of breathing is death.

The opposite of your heart beating is death.

The opposite of full health is disease.

The opposite of proper "cell" activity 24/7 is death of the body.

We are social creatures. We are all "cells" in the body of human kind. We serve each other 24/7 or the body dies. Use your Heart and see this. Use your Head, you will NOT see it; GAME OVER.

Nonviolent Revolutionary Behaviors

Given the Adler/Jesus insight that the necessity is to shock the individual and masses out of the "insane" paradigm that all men are enemies, into the "sane" paradagm that all men are brothers - REFUSE TO ACT AS OTHER THAN A BROTHER AND EXPECT NOTHING LESS OF OTHERS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH THE "MAD" DELUSION OF "ENEMY:"

GENERAL GUIDLINES of BROTHERLY BEHAVIOR:

* No surprises - Almost always give clear, advance notice.
* Understandingly accept mistreatment by your "mad" brother out of love as the only hope of curing your brother, and society. Be the "leaves" that make the "wind" visible; your blod will make his/her/their "insanity" [selfishness] visible.
* Repeat
* There is no other way.
* There is no faster way.
* Much less carnage will occur this way. Much carnage, including you and "yours" will occur. Proceed. Take the joy of a mother dying for her child as your supreme blessing.
* Be a perfect (perfectly Loving) sacrifice.

SPECIFIC IDEAS:

* Darfur: A la Greenpeace, place yourself in a boat in front of an Chinese oil tanker; to stop your "brothers" from supporting your "brothers" in the gangrape of your sisters (Pre announce; accept death if that is what is imposed.)
* Darfur: Pre announce that you will violate laws associated with tresspass at the Darfur Embassy. Violate those laws as Announced. Repeat.

In their Soul all men know they are brothers

Save all people on the planet? Spark the paradigm shift that all men are brothers


Adler (& Jesus): The Determining Paradigm is to see all people as Enemy or Brother

The Soul is where Peacemakers must focus

If the Military turned their way of life into ritual and belief, killing would cease

The Chuch of today has unwittingly become the anti-Christ. It has taken what was to be a Religion, a total lifestyle of totally sacraficial Otherishness; and turned it into Ritual, Afterlife oriented "magic," imprisoned it on Sunday morning, and made it into "air freshener" to enable us to stand the stench of our murderous SELFISHNESS. "Nothing is so tempting as evil in the guise of virtue," Dr. Martin Luther King. We use "Christianity" as the garb that enables our culture of selfishness. It was to be the opposite.

We must learn from the Military. Yes, they have ritual and dogma, but they use it in the servide of an all-embracing lifestyle, NOT INSTEAD.

Jesus called us to a radically different way of life - Total Brotherhood at all cost, even at the cost of your life; IMMEDIATELY at the cost of your life if necessary. "Love as I have love," Jesus

"Lusting" got us into this mess. "Loving" is the only way out. Start Loving

Act out of Love, or Pray. Do not act out of selfishness.

Parents. This is where we lose our kids. For 12, 16 or 20 years we have them act out of selfishness. WHAT you say? We do NOT have them act out of love. The environments that have used us are devoid for all intents and purposes of opportunities for children to act out of love.

A friend I used to have told me that the good things about "Catholic" families was that by being so huge it forced everyone to see how they were needed and to act out of love. Well, this makes the point below, however having huge families is a sin in this world of shortages if we are talking "bearing" children. Adoption? GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BETTER YET: "AS YOU DO UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE MY FAMILY, YOU DO UNTO ME." BRING YOUR CHILD UP AS ONE, JUST ONE OF YOUR 4 BILLION OTHER CHILDREN - EXACTLY.

But to the point of this post, PARENTS, unless you want to cripple and kill your child's soul, from the time they are born:

* Place them in situations where they are needed (Blessed are the poor)

* Teach them what they, THEY discover that they need. "Mommy, why does the world have homeless? How can I make it stop? " "Well dear, let's teach you to read, and let's read up on that."

Thereby you will give them a life of SERVICE, a life lived from the heart, a life of LOVING.

Repeat.

[There is no other way.]
